The president's long-form birth certificate has been produced for all to see.

Birthers, you can go practice chanting your conspiracy theories on another street corner.

The Trumpster is taking full credit for putting an end to this national embarrassment of a non-issue.

The Donald is doing nothing more than promoting his stupid reality TV show. And it's working.

Next up: Why does President Obama always cover his stomach during press conferences? Does he have a real belly button? Trump's people are on the ground investigating the first navel.

The real birthers aren't gonna be satisfied with this. For them, it was never about the birth certificate. They can't produce their own birth certificate. It is all about the name and color of the mixed race candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, who became president. They will find other excuses to refuse the legitimacy of this country's elected leader.

America has enough problems in need of real solutions. We don't have time to wander into these alleys of silly distractions.

If you're a serious candidate with positive ideas on how to solve the nation's problems, please speak up. Work with your political allies and your enemies to produce solutions.

Unfortunately, in this 24/7 'entertain me now' news cycle, the pompous, opportunistic windbags get all the attention.
